There is a small Zhuangzi near the official road in Shangsi County. The courtyard is lined with green trees, and the branches and leaves that cover the sky block the sun, so that the two people sitting by the window do not feel the heat at all.
"Sir." The servant in green clothes quickly entered the room, saluted and then reported back: "The housekeeper from your residence stopped me outside the county school..."
Gu Qingzhou was wearing a long-sleeved robe today, holding a Ru porcelain tea cup in one hand, looking at the scenery outside the window with half-squinted eyes, and what he was holding was a true celebrity.
But when he heard that Zhan Feiyu hit the man and the housekeeper on the head with an inkstone, Gu Qingzhou's hand shook and the tea spilled, "You said the little girl beat the man?"
The servant in Tsing Yi took a cloth and wiped Gu Qingzhou's hands, and then wiped away the water stains on the tea table, and then continued: "Yes, I smashed him twice and asked the police to take him into the county government office. "
"Zhan Feiyu went to the study to meet Magistrate Chen. A quarter of an hour later, Zhan Feiyu left. Mr. Chen used the excuse of insulting a scholar and beat his fellow steward twenty times and threw him into prison." The servant in Tsing Yi was only fourteen. Five years old, he answered with a dull face, but Gu Qingzhou, who knew him well, could still hear the displeasure in his words.
"Wu Yan, I said before that the little girl and you are on the same road, but now it seems that it is indeed the case." Gu Qingzhou laughed loudly and raised his teacup to the cold-faced Yin Wuyan, "Please be honest."
Yin Wuyan looked coldly at Gu Qingzhou, who was drinking tea instead of wine, with a cold and biting voice, "Far inferior to Master Gu!"
Zhan Feiyu was also surprised why Gu Qingzhou didn't show up, and Magistrate Zhang didn't come to Shangsi County. In the final analysis, it was just Gu Qingzhou who used Zhan Feiyu as bait, deliberately releasing specious news, and waiting for someone to take the bait.
"The Holy One has sent someone here. Even if the little girl is not so cruel, nothing will happen to her." Gu Qingzhou smiled meaningfully. If the Holy One had not sent someone, the people from the Forbidden Dragon Guard would have secretly protected the little girl.
"Accept Xiaoyu as a disciple, this matter has been revealed." Yin Wuyan had this idea when he knew that the Holy Sage sent Gu Qingzhou to handle the matter.
With such great achievements, Zhan Feiyu could at least be named the County Lord, but Yin Wuyan understood that Zhan Feiyu had no foundation, and the title of County Lord was just an empty title.
On the contrary, you will be targeted by some families with ill intentions. If you just send an incompetent son to marry a little girl, you can attribute this great achievement to your own family.
Gu Qingzhou, who had a lazy expression, suddenly sat up straight, "I owe the little girl a favor, and the Holy Emperor will also praise her, but you have to think clearly, if I accept the little girl as a disciple, you must cut off contact with her !”
When he said the last sentence, Gu Qingzhou's expression was stern and serious. He and Yin Wuyan could be said to be the two most trusted ministers of the Holy Emperor, but they must not have any personal relationship, otherwise it would be a disaster.
Furthermore, Gu Qingzhou was a great scholar of the dynasty and a role model for scholars, while Yin Wuyan was the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, but privately he was called a hawk and lackey by countless courtiers, a murderer, bloodthirsty, and a wolf-hearted man... …Too many insults.
There is absolutely no way that his disciple Gu Qingzhou has anything to do with the Forbidden Dragon Guard. Of course, this is also for Zhan Feiyu's consideration.
In the past, whether Yin Wuyan gave Zhan Feiyu a New Year's gift or stood up for her when Zhang Xiucai was in trouble at the Zeng family, they all used the name of Nanxuan Guards. In the final analysis, it was for the sake of the little girl's reputation.
The moment Gu Qingzhou's words fell, the aura around Yin Wuyan suddenly became cold, and his sharp murderous eyes seemed to splash Gu Qingzhou's blood three feet away.
The servant in green clothes was standing quietly in the corner, but his expression changed at this time, and he was about to rush over, but was stopped by Chongguang Hengdao on the side, who tapped his acupuncture points.
Yin Wuyan's cold voice sounded, which did not reduce the murderous aura around him at all, "Scholar Gu's control is too lenient!"
Gu Qingzhou poured himself a cup of tea and took two sips. The strong aroma of tea spread in his mouth, "When I was young, I didn't like the bitter taste of tea. But now, I don't like it without tea. Some people have some things."
It's engraved in my bones. If you want to give up, you have to peel off your flesh and blood. It's best for you to cut off all contact at this time."
Yin Wuyan was able to hide the news because Shangsi County was located in a remote area and Zhan Feiyu was a young girl with a talent for reading.
But once the news about movable type printing spread, Yin Wuyan had to avoid suspicion, at least on the surface, and no longer have contact with Zhan Feiyu.
There is no need for Gu Qingzhou to explain that those in the court cannot deal with Yin Wuyan and will definitely turn their anger on Zhan Feiyu. And she, a little girl with no power to tie a chicken, will probably die without a burial place.
Looking out the window with cold phoenix eyes, Yin Wuyan, who said nothing, was like a sculpture. What remained unchanged was the coldness and sharpness in his eyebrows.
After staying in the darkness for a long time, some people are like a ray of light, so warm and bright that people don't want to let go.
The little girl has crooked eyebrows when she smiles, but she is also extremely cute when she is timid. In the past few years, he has had countless officials beheaded, and there are also children on the guillotine, but the little girl is different to him.
"Wu Yan, you are weak this year and the little girl is only eight years old. Have you ever thought about how in ten years' time, if you two have close contact with each other, how can the little girl get married?" Gu Qingzhou had to be vulgar for once and threw out marriage as an excuse.
Eighteen and eight years old, no matter how close they are, nothing will happen. However, at the age of twenty-eight and eighteen, everyone in the world speculates maliciously on the relationship between men and women. Especially Yin Wuyan made countless enemies. His enemies did not dare to attack him and he was sacrificed.
It will only be Zhanfei fish.
Yin Wuyan left with Chongguang. Although he didn't speak again in the end, Gu Qingzhou knew that he had agreed.
"Sir, do you want to take Zhan Feiyu as your disciple?" the servant in green asked in a low voice. There are so many young talents who want to take you as your disciple, but unfortunately they are all rejected by you. Zhan Feiyu is a rude and rude country boy.
Girl, why should she?
Gu Qingzhou smiled and looked at the emotional servant Yi Yan, "Gu Yuan, are you worried that she will ruin the reputation of your family?"
"Isn't it?" Gu Yuan finally became annoyed and said angrily: "Zhan Feiyu is full of stains. If you accept her as your disciple, I don't know how many troubles will be caused!"
Not to mention that Zhan Feiyu studied for the imperial examination as a woman. After being adopted, she was cold and merciless to the people in the old house. However, she did not recognize her biological father, so her parents almost divorced.
In order to gain fame, Gu Yuan was displeased with each and every transaction he made with Mr. Xie.
And today she smashed her fellow housekeeper's head with an inkstone, twice. She was so cruel and vicious at such a young age. Gu Yuan didn't understand why his elder would pick Zhan Feiyu.
Gu Qingzhou looked at Gu Yuan who was so worried that it seemed like the sky was about to fall. He shook his head and said with a smile, "If you don't make others jealous, you are mediocre! The little girl is an interesting person. Besides, this is also the intention of the Holy One."
Even though he was dissatisfied, Gu Yuan didn't dare to say anything.
"Bring over those articles on the desk." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile.
After a long while, looking at the lines of handwriting in standard Taige style, Gu Yuan, although he couldn't read art writing, made people's eyes light up, "Sir, is it really written by an eight-year-old girl?"
"The key is that she has been in school for less than a year, and her handwriting is already impressive." Gu Qingzhou smiled and looked at Gu Yuan. He followed him when he was five years old. It has been ten years now, and his handwriting is simply eye-catching.
"I..." Gu Yuan blushed in embarrassment, and was not convinced that he was outclassed by an eight-year-old girl. He frowned and ran out, "I don't want to take the imperial examination."
Laughter rang out, Gu Qingzhou resumed his lazy posture, picked up a fan and slowly fanned the wind. Movable type printing was a big deal, especially for scholars all over the world. Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but be highly rewarded for his achievements.
But just as Yin Wuyan was worried, the Holy Emperor did not want those families to attribute this huge contribution to their own names through marriage, especially since the Holy Emperor had seven princes in total.
Although the age of the prince is inappropriate, there are still grandchildren. Whoever marries Zhan Feiyu will be highly praised by scholars. Being related to the throne will make the situation more complicated, so Gu Qingzhou's best way is to accept a disciple.
.
Zhan Feiyu had no idea that Grand Scholar Gu was thinking of accepting him as his disciple.
Three provinces building.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn barbarian literature?" Zhao Jiaoyu asked in surprise. He just asked Master Dou Zhan Feiyu about his study progress yesterday. It would be appropriate for him to take the childbirth examination next February.
"Teach me, there are tens of millions of scholars in the world, and I want to have the ability to settle down and make a living." Zhan Feiyu replied crisply.
Even if you are a man, it is not easy for you to become famous at a young age. Otherwise, how could you have that warning saying that everything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind?
Zhan Feiyu would attract too much criticism for studying for the imperial examination as a woman. Once the news of movable type printing spreads, her previous life experience of playing keyboard and eating melons guarantees that it will definitely be a mixed blessing. There are many scholars who are grateful to her.
But the voices of doubt will not be quiet.
Zhao Jiaoyu seemed to understand, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The imperial court did not have many contacts with overseas barbarians. The few states that had opened sea bans had business dealings with barbarian merchants. The officials of Honglu Temple knew barbarian writing, but they did not count.
proficient."
This is normal. Han Chuang studied hard for decades and finally got a spot on the gold medal list. Who doesn’t want to benefit a country by serving as an official?
But after entering Honglu Temple, you have to learn barbarian script all over again. Who wants to learn it from scratch, so I generally only know a little bit about it, and can communicate in daily life, plus use body gestures.
"Yes, although learning barbarian script may seem a bit useless, sometimes it is indispensable." Zhan Feiyu has already planned it. Whenever he needs to use barbarian script, he will naturally need himself. Even if she is a woman, she
You can use barbarian writing to make yourself invincible.
"You should be able to find books written by barbarians, but no one can teach you." Zhao Jiaoyu was also born in the imperial examination and had many classmates. In the same year, he went to Linhai Prefecture to buy books, but the one who taught barbarian literature
Master, Zhao Jiaoyu has weak intentions.
A smile appeared on his chubby little face, and Zhan Feiyu replied: "Thank you for your help. I think the court will reward you in time. I would like to ask the merchant's fleet to help hire a local who is proficient in barbarian writing."
There is a Nanjiang River running through Nanxuan Prefecture. Because there are docks and water transportation, the caravans in Nanxuan Prefecture can travel far away, and there are also grocery stores selling seafood. Zhan Feiyu infers that the goods are imported from Zhongzhou Prefecture, the nearest city to the sea. .
Then there must be local people who are proficient in barbarian writing in Zhongzhou Prefecture. Zhan Feiyu is actually just looking for a shield to be upright. She spends money to hire people back and stays for half a year. Who makes her a prodigy? Even if she learns barbarian writing The writing is also very fast, so you poor students can only hold it in if you are not convinced!
"This is feasible. You are young and are not in a hurry to take the imperial examination." Zhao Jiaoyu knew that Zhan Feiyu studied hard and even surpassed most students in the county school.
Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door. Zhan Feiyu and Zhao Jiaoyu looked back, only to see Zhaifu running over with panic on his face.
"Jiaoyu, a carriage came outside, saying it was from Nanxuan Mansion. The gentleman on the carriage asked Jiaoyu to go over and give a reply."
Zhao Jiaoyu's face couldn't help but darken. He was a noble scholar. Even though the other party was a higher-ranking official, this attitude of treating Zhao Jiaoyu as a subordinate really made him unhappy.
Nanxuan Mansion? Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but think of her fellow housekeeper who was imprisoned in the cell by County Magistrate Chen. When she came to the county school in the morning, she "accidentally met" Agent Zhao. It seems that Magistrate Chen also chose to side with Magistrate Zhang.
"Jiaoyu, why don't you go out and take a look." Zhan Feiyu found a place for Zhao Jiaoyu to step down, "If you are really an adult, you should go to the county government office to find Lord Chen first."
Zhao Jiaoyu's first reaction was that a certain adult came here for the movable type printing technology. He handed over the book through Zhishi's mentor, and Zhao Jiaoyu didn't know anything about the follow-up questions.
After all, he is just a county scholar and a low-ranking eighth-grade official. How can he know the news of the imperial court?
"That's fine, I want to see which adult puts on the official air at the gate of the county school!" Zhao Jiaoyu flicked his long sleeves and walked out the door with a bit of anger.
There were several big trees planted outside the gate of the county school. Their luxuriant branches were just enough to block the sun. At this time, a gorgeous carriage was parked under the trees. In addition to the coachman, the boy, and the maid, there were four other people standing beside the carriage. They were all handsome men, and the horses they were riding were tied under a tree not far away.
"Jiaoyu, this is a big show, and it looks like it's worth the money." Zhan Feiyu pursed his lips and smiled.
It is absolutely impossible for a court official to take a maid with him when he goes out to work. With her white skin, beauty, and gorgeous clothes, she looks more like a maid in a concubine's room.
"Be careful what you say and do!" Zhao Jiaoyu reprimanded him with feigned anger, but his expression had already softened.
After walking forward in a few steps, Zhao Jiaoyu raised his hands and asked, "Who is inspecting the county school?"
The curtain of the carriage was opened at a corner, and a slender wrist with a burst of fragrance was stretched out, holding a name card in the delicate white catkins.
The boy on the side quickly took it with both hands, his attitude was extremely respectful, but when he handed it to Zhao Jiaoyu, he had a look of arrogance on his face, "How dare you make my master wait for so long, Jiaoyu is so arrogant!"
Zhao Jiaoyu was definitely not a court official in this style. Zhao Jiaoyu was completely relieved. He opened the name card and frowned slightly. It turned out to be the name card of Tongzhi of Nanxuan Mansion.
Zhan Feiyu stood on tiptoe and took a look, with a sly smile on his little face. Sure enough, it was just Master Tong's lackey who came, and yesterday's housekeeper seemed to be the one who took the lead.
But remembering that Yin Wuyan had said before that Magistrate Zhang and Tong Tongzhi were equally matched, one was a strong dragon and the other was a local snake. Logically speaking, Tong Tongzhi would not act so crudely. Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but glance at the carriage suspiciously. Is this a ploy to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?
Estimating the time, the person in the carriage spoke. The male voice was slightly hoarse and lacked breath, but his voice revealed a condescending attitude, "Zhao Jiaoyu, Zhan Feiyu is a student at the county school, and the day before yesterday she taught me
The butler’s head was beaten to a bloody head, I want to take the murderer to the county government office, and I asked Zhao Jiaoyu to help him!”
He said it was an invitation, but Zhao Jiaoyu definitely couldn't refuse this strong attitude.
"What?" he asked in shock. Zhao Jiaoyu suddenly turned around and looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was smiling with a guilty conscience beside him. This girl just kept silent and became a blockbuster!
Zhan Feiyu grinned, his expression was very innocent, his soft little voice sounded soft and pitiful, "Teacher, the bachelor also had no choice but to do it. The other party's carriage deliberately stopped in the alley outside the county school and almost ran into it.
Not talking about the ox cart, that man also took the student away by force. When the student refused to let Uncle Hu drive the ox cart away, he actually took the whip and tried to slap me in the face, so I hurt someone."
Zhao Jiaoyu couldn't care about anything else. He looked at Zhan Feiyu up and down with concerned eyes and made sure that she was not injured. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and his anger started to burn.
Zhan Feiyu made it very clear. Not only did this man hit a bullock cart with a horse-drawn carriage, but if something happened, he would be seriously injured or fatal, that's all. He also dared to whip people with a whip. Looking at Zhan Feiyu, a little boy with red lips and white teeth.
With her fat face, Zhao Jiaoyu couldn't imagine what would have happened if she hadn't avoided it.
